Association football is the national sport of Greenland. The governing body, the Football Association of Greenland (Kalaallit Nunaanni Arsaattartut Kattuffiat), is not yet a member of FIFA because it cannot grow grass for regulation grass pitches. It is a member of the N.F.-Board.
Seems a bit harsh they can't play national football just because they can't grow proper grass, I swear Faroe Islands have the same problem, but they still get to enter?! If they could put down fake grass and be allowed to enter European qualifying I wouldn't see a problem, they have more a higher population than other nations who enter so why not? And there are 53 teams atm, another team would be 54 which is divisible by 6, right now we have 1 group of 5 in the Euro Qualifying process so that would come in handy. Anyone else think this or am I mad?
